Some free museums are Musee Bourdelle, Musée Cognacq-Jay, Musée Cernuschi, The Petit Palais, Musée de la Vie Romantique, and Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
One may assume that the oldest museum is the Louvre, but it is Paris' Carnavalet Museum that goes back about 2000 years. The Carnavalet provides a unique, in-depth insight into the city's history and has recently opened up after extensive renovations. This museum exhibits the lives and lifestyles of prominent royal figures in the form of art, furnishings, tools, books, jewelry, maps, models, and other fascinating objects.
The largest museum is the Louvre, which has on display about 380,000 works of art, spread across over 60,000 sq. m. in surface area. This makes it one of the most-visited museums in the world. One can find works of art by maestros such as Caravaggio, Eugene Delacroix, Jacques-Louis David, Leonardo da Vinci, and more.
Personal photography is allowed at most museums in Paris. However, photography for commercial use, or through tripods and selfie sticks is not permitted.
The best time of day to visit museums in Paris is early morning during weekdays, since weekends and evenings tend to draw a large crowd. The best time of year would be between October to April; however, keep in mind that December gets quite crowded due to the holiday season worldwide.
No, most museums in Paris are closed on Christmas and New Year's. Open on Christmas: Musée de Montmartre, Centre Pompidou, and Musée Jacquemart-André. Open on New Year's: Musée de l’Orangerie, Quai Branly, Orsay Museum, and Grand Palais among others.

The museum is set in a railway station and is lovely. The art exhibits are wonderful, with statues and art works. The audio system could have been better. Having a fast track ticket was great - avoided the queues!

I thoroughly enjoyed this Art exhibit / art gallery. There was soooo much to see!! And works from artists all over the world. I liked the variety of art in the form of architecture to paintings to sculptures. The layout of the museum was easy to follow and there's beautiful views of Paris as you walk past the windows on the upper levels. I think everyone's favorites were the famous works of the Impressionism artists because that was the most crowded display; however I was able to capture any photos I wanted. Highly recommended adding this museum to your travels when you visit the magical city of Paris!! I also was able to bring a small bag with a water bottle & you can buy memorabilia throughout the museum.

The Rodin museum was one of my favorite museums in Paris. I toured the sculpture garden first then enjoyed getting the context and history from the museum exhibits. A few days later I visited the house of Antoine Bourdelle, a student of Rodin, which provided even more color around Rodin's influence.

It was a queue-free experience, in spite of the large audience, and I really enjoyed the 15/20' presentations by the guides, who were very professional and interesting, and very useful to have the basic information about the exhibition.
